Mail Server



How do you setup a mailserver without becoming an open-relay?

On my local lan I use either mutt or evolution to read/send email. This has
worked well for a long time. Remotely I mainly logged into my mailserver
and ran mutt. This also has worked well for a long time.

However with the release of Mozilla 1.0 I have become addicted to its mail
reader. I use imapd+sslwrap. To read email this is a great combo. However,
remotely I can't send mail with this setup.

I understand smtp servers can bet setup to use logon/passwds to accept outgoing
email. Is this a common approach? What else could I do? Is this a configuration
of exim or is this something else entirely? Is PAM somehow plugged into exim?

Tips and Clues are greatly appreaciated.
